I made 3 football crossword boards for fans outside the Big Six
I’ve been building a football crossword game over the last few days and I’ve now got 3 live boards aimed specifically at The Other 14.
The idea is to make football puzzles that aren’t just dominated by the usual Big Six clubs, so the boards mix questions across different clubs, players, managers, grounds and memorable moments.
It’s still a very early beta, so I’d really appreciate people here giving them a try and telling me whether the questions feel fair and whether the mix of clubs feels balanced.
Challenge link — your score goes onto the shared table with everyone else who uses the same link:

Solo link — just play the board yourself, with no shared challenge table:

There are also 2 more Other 14 boards live if you want to try another afterwards and several more +
I’m also working on dedicated Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa and Bolton boards next, so if you support one of those clubs I’d especially appreciate any feedback on what sort of questions you’d want to see.
How it works
You pick a team/theme and a board, then you’re assigned a random Premier League table and the aim is to finish as high as possible.
There are help options if you get stuck:
- Check a word — 3 points
- Check the full grid — 9 points
- Reveal a letter — 2 points
- Reveal a word — 9 points
The quicker you finish, and the less help you use, the better your score and league position.
Would really appreciate feedback on the questions in particular — especially whether the club mix feels balanced, and whether anything is too easy, too obscure, unclear or just wrong.
